I'm sorry but you have to have no life and be bran dead.

Thats way to extreme.

Sorry don't mean to offend anybody.
And neither store has anything worth waiting that long for.

That was my reaction. If I was doing BF at BB this year my plan was 12:01 am Wednesday. This is way too early. WM manager is feeding them at WM. He told me it is good for business.
Are you going to do any more YouTube videos?

Delete this post!!!! This is going to get people out there much earlier than last year! I went out last year on wednesday night and was second in line. There is no friggin way i am going out any earlier this year....just a suggestion!
Actually, this thread is a warning to those folks who think they can just waltz up to the front door of Best Buy, Circuit City, or Wal-Mart at 11:30 pm on Thanksgiving and get some doorbusters.
It ain't gonna happen...

I may. I may go back to BB and WM with a video camera and interview them and post it. One of the people are in line are a regular on this board and freaked out when I told them I was Big Jim Slade and he wanted a picture with me. He said I was his BF hero.
Awww
How sweet **cough** sweet can be manly too.

See what making a major network news story does to you?

did I miss what deal was so great that we had to camp out 4 days early?
I can't even find a deal that makes it worth me getting up at 5 am for.

See, this is the kind of stuff that aggravates me. Sure, people have the right to camp out for days ahead of time, but this makes it so much harder for the "normal" people to be able to get what they need. When I say normal people, I am referring to those that have families, jobs, responsibilities, etc. that just cannot stand outside of a store for days in advance to get that wish list item for their child or the only way they can afford a computer is to get one of the cheap ones. The people who have no lives camp out for days and days to either get items just to sell or do it just for the publicity. Ridiculous!
I SO wish stores would wise up and institute a minimum amount of time that people can camp out and imho, it shouldnt be any earlier than about midnight on Thanskgiving!
They should institute a lottery. That would quickly end Hooverville outside these stores.
